Description

Joseph Dane's critical examination of material evidence in manuscript and printed book studies challenges conventional approaches to print culture research. This scholarly work interrogates the institutional and ideological assumptions embedded in medieval studies, descriptive bibliography, and library science, asking fundamental questions about how evidence from texts and written objects is defined, interpreted, and applied. Dane explores the complex relationship between physical artefacts and the abstract statements scholars construct from them, revealing how evidence can become distorted to support predetermined conclusions. Essential reading for academics, researchers, and students engaged with literary theory, book history, bibliography, and the broader questions of how we construct knowledge from material culture.

Key Features

Routledge publication offering a rigorous theoretical critique of evidence-based research methods in book and manuscript studies.

Examines the ideological presuppositions governing medieval studies, descriptive bibliography, and institutional library science practice.

Explores the relationship between physical material evidence and abstract scholarly statements made about texts and written objects.

Addresses fundamental questions about how evidence from manuscripts and printed books is defined, interpreted, and applied in literary criticism.
